Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a motor disability disorder that most commonly occurs in children so that sufferers are unable to perform functional activities independently and need special service. Aquatic therapy and neuro developmental are interventions of physical therapy to help improve the motor functional development ability. The purpose of research is to find out the difference between aquatic therapy and neuro developmental treatment on the motor functional development ability of children with cerebral palsy. The type of research is quasi-experimental research with a pretest and posttest design. The subject of the research is the cerebral palsy community in Yogyakarta, namely Wahana Keluarga Cerebral Palsy (WKCP). The mann-whitney test use to test the hypothesis statistically.The results are difference in influence from aquatic therapy and neuro developmental treatment on the motor functional development ability of children with cerebral palsy, especially in the dimension of sitting, crawling and kneeling, standing, walking, running and jumping, and not for dimension of supine and prone. The conclusion is aquatic exercise is more influential on the motor functional development ability of children with cerebral palsy compared to neuro developmental treatment.

Introduction/Objective. Pain is often an under-recognized entity in children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in pain self-perception between children with cerebral palsy and their caregivers. Methods. This retrospective study included 70 children with cerebral palsy and 70 of their caregivers, treated at the Institute of Child and Youth Health Care of Vojvodina, Serbia. Pain intensity ratings on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) provided by children and/or their caregivers were analyzed. Results. The research involved 70 children with cerebral palsy and the same number of their caregivers. While only 43 (61.4%) of these children were testable, all 70 caregivers participated. Pain was reported by 19 (44.2%) children and 42 (60%) caregivers, while 17 (39.5%) children suffered from musculoskeletal pain, which was noted by 39 (55.7%) caregivers. Average caregiver rating for musculoskeletal pain for children at Level V, I and III on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was 6.20 ? 2.10, 2.67 ? 2.18, and 2.50 ? 2, respectively. Average self- and caregiver-reported VAS rating for headache/stomachache was 2.73 ? 1.86 and 2.35 ? 1.49, respectively (p > 0.05). Statistically significant differences were noted in the musculoskeletal pain VAS scores provided by the caregivers for children at different GMFCS levels (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Although no differences in pain perception between children with cerebral palsy and their caregivers have been established, in children with the most severe level of motor disability, caregivers report a statistically higher level of musculoskeletal pain.

Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. Cerebral palsy can significantly impact the amount of physical activity and individual obtains, and the scope and quality of the physical activity may be limited by cerebral palsy. High-quality physical education can integrate children with cerebral palsy into movement programing, as to enable children with cerebral palsy to achieve goals related to cognitive skills associated with exploring physical health, maintaining physical health, as well as affective values towards physical health, movement, play, and general wellbeing. This article provides a basic overview of the physical characteristics of cerebral palsy, as well as outlines ways the child’s educational care-team can work with physical educators and physical therapist to enhance movement skills and health behavior.

The Relationship

CP is the foremost cause of motor disability in children and affects two to five children in 1000 live births worldwide. It is been recognized as a global concern medically, socially, and economically due to the increasing financial burden to the states. About half of the children with cerebral palsy suffer a range of motion difficulties. The study aims to understand the role of orthotic devices and its efficacy in the treatment of the patient with cerebral palsy and gait improvement. An online database of Pubmed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, etc. searched to find the articles with the keywords, cerebral palsy, orthotic devices, orthosis, lower limb, and results were synthesized and narrated to explore the effectiveness of the devices on the gait pattern and quality of life of a patient with cerebral palsy. The database search was done without the barrier of dates and regions. Orthoses applied externally appear to be supported and had a diverse effect on gait depending on the type of orthosis. However, the relationship between gait pattern and AFOs and ankle properties is yet to be established. Additional research in this area is needed to complement the development of passive and active AFOs to provide larger improvements in walking capabilities.

We evaluated the outcome of a community-based early intervention and habilitation for children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Bangladesh. Children registered on the Bangladesh CP Register (BCPR) were recruited in two groups for this study: Group A received a comprehensive six-month long community-based caregiver-led intervention program at the “Shishu Shorgo” (Bengali title, which translates to ‘Children’s Heaven’) Early Intervention and Rehabilitation Centres developed to support participants from the BCPR. Group B received standard care. A quasi-experimental study was conducted. Data were obtained at baseline, at the end of the program (i.e., 6 months), and at a 12-month follow-up. Outcome measures for children included gross motor functional measure (GMFM-66), Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), and Viking Speech Scale (VSS) and, for adult caregivers, the depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS 21). Between October 2016 and March 2017, 156 children with CP were recruited (77 in Group A and 79 in Group B). The total score of GMFM-66, CFCS level, and VSS level significantly improved statistically in Group A (p < 0.05 for all) and deteriorated in Group B (p < 0.001, p = 0.095, p = 0.232). The intervention showed promising outcomes particularly for children with CP under five years of age. There is a need for caregiver-led community-based programs for children with CP in LMICs.

Objective: To explore the effect of combining modern rehabilitation concepts with acupuncture and massage therapy on the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Research work was carried out in our hospital. The work was carried out from September 2018 to September 2019. A total of 100 patients were selected, all of whom were children with cerebral palsy. The 100 patients with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups：the control group who was given modern rehabilitation concept intervention, and the intervention group who was given modern rehabilitation concept combined with acupuncture and massage. The recovery condition of the two groups of cerebral palsy children was compared and analyzed. Results: There were 5 patients in the treatment group who were ineffective, the effective rate was 90.00%, and 11 people in the control group were ineffective, the effective rate was 78.00% which has existential meaning. The incidence of sequelae of the children in the experimental group was 14.00%, and the incidence of sequelae of the children in the control group was 32.00%. In contrast, the incidence of the experimental group was low and the effect was good. The difference in data was significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: The combination of modern rehabilitation concepts and TCM acupuncture and massage intervention methods in children with cerebral palsy has a significant effect, which can improve the child ’s adverse conditions, promote the child ’s recovery, and improve the child ’s motor function, it can be promoted.
